As the economy collapses around us, it's reassuring to know that Reston is at the very heart of the sclerotic global marketplace. From West Virginia to North Wales, we're kicking all kinds of hiney (or pattotey, depending on whether you're in the former or latter exotic locale.)

The North Wales Police Department opted to outsource its e-mail to the Reston headquarters of Unisys. Terms weren't announced, but we're assuming Unisys will at least get a shiny ha'penny for its efforts, which appear to involve migrating thousands of e-mails all one sentence long: "What's all this then?" Who knows, maybe they thought Unisys was headquartered in this Reston.

Doomed homebuilder Comstock reaches some complicated yet intensely boring deal with one of its lenders. Those particleboard tract subdivisions aren't going to build themselves, after all!
